An Illustrious version of (the V2 of) my very first LoRA . A mechanic girl from the 2004 manga After War Gundam X: Under the Moonlight who (as far as I know) is Gundam’s first chick who digs not only giant robots, but other chicks (even if it is ultimately a punchline).
Tags: mana_utm, twin braids, flipped hair, ahoge,
Headgear: bandana, head-mounted display,
Outfit: bare shoulders, crop top, o-ring top, cleavage, navel, gloves, baggy pants, open pants, fanny pack, boots, high heel boots
Negative: monochrome, greyscale, manga illustration, flat coloring, dark-skinned female (it turns out that Illustrious needs more wrangling when a LoRA is all or mostly B&W manga based)Weight: May need 0.9 weight to get color artifacts down. This may be an optimizer issue not needed on new version (see bottom)
(I don't recommend such a manga character as a first LoRA, simply because so much of the end result is going to be in data selection, but its totally within reach of a second+ once you keep a few things in mind. See the guide in the recommended resources)
Note: New version "Prodigy" was created to experiment with training settings compared to original. I noticed that the Illustrious versions of my black and white based LoRAs had bits of weird coloration that wasn't present on the Pony versions, so I decided to test if the problem was a result of training settings or the base model. The optimizer choice was the obvious place to start. I'd like more opinions before making a conclusion. Will try my other B&W heavy LoRAs too at some point.
